SANTA ANA – Prosecutors will try as an adult a 17-year-old girl who they say enlisted two gang members to steal her roommate's 15-day-old newborn.

Gladys Remigio of Santa Ana is charged with one felony count each of conspiracy to commit a crime, first-degree residential robbery, first-degree residential burglary and attempted kidnapping, with sentencing enhancements for criminal street gang activity.

She is expected to be arraigned Friday when prosecutors will request she be held on $1 million bail.

If convicted, Remigio faces a possible life in state prison.

Co-defendants Steven David Quirino, 20, and Robert Henry Rodriguez, 19, both of Santa Ana, face the same charges, plus another felony count of street terrorism, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
